The news focuses on the major issues of violence and bullying within Japan's Defense University. These incidents, more frequently reported with growing concern, question the university's ability to provide a safe environment for its students. In response, the education institution is contemplating measures to discourage and prevent such behaviours, although their implementation and effectiveness remain uncertain.

Issues of violence and bullying in schools and universities are a pervasive concern in Japan, which often lead to serious effects on the students' mental health and, in some cases, to suicide. The Japanese society gives significant importance to these issues, particularly within educational institutions that are expected to foster a safe and secure environment for students.

Similarly, in the US and EU, issues of violence and bullying in universities are taken very seriously. However, these territories may have more established processes and strict regulations in place to counteract such issues. Moreover, there's a stronger culture of reporting and discussing these issues openly in the West, with numerous support networks available for victims.
